In 1996, Jim and Jason Ebel - two brothers with the same blood and a strong passion - officially wrote the first chapter of that journey at Warrenville, Illinois. The beginning was just a small warehouse, where the fragrant aroma of beer first whispered, and the first barrels of craft beer were handed over as if to convey a quintessence.
Not stopping there, their hearts urged them to bring that flavor closer to like-minded souls. And so, in 1999, Tap House first came into being, as a warm communal home where the story of two brothers was told through each sip of sparkling beer.
